How does data theft impact you

604 views

I’m trying to convince my friend that using certain apps will put their data at risk and stuff but I don’t have a concrete reason as to why it’s bad. I know it is but I can’t explain it.

Data theft doesn’t always directly impact you, but rather is damaging to others and society in general.

For example China has a history of hunting down and killing those who speak out against their regime, even outside the country. Giving China the tools to track people across the world is indirectly contributing to their murder even if you specifically aren’t murdered. This is why TikTok is so dangerous. And if enough people are using the platform then public discussion can be guided toward or away from certain topics.
